Discussion: Seasons and Systems

All of you guys literally have known about systems that changes between seasons in Cardfight Vanguard. Today, I want to discuss about the systems in Cardfight Vanguard, from season 1 till season 5. 

Now, let's talk about season 1. Season 1 is the place where G3 is a really sacred thing , the things that is super powerful. As you know, the first season is the introduction of several clans and where the main character is not powerful at all. In season 1, they introduce the use of Megablast. The system of Counterblasting 5 cards & Soulblasting 8 cards. This is super insane, but the cost really pays off. Well, not on all decks though. From all the megablasters that exist, I think the best one is the Angel Feather's Megablast : Mobile Hospital, Feather Palace. This unit has the unique skill to restart your game if you have 5 rear guards on your field. This season is really good because it has full fights in the game and the antagonist is cool-looking.

 Let's go on to the next season, Asia Circuit. Aichi loses his Royal Paladin and replaced by Gold Paladin, whereas Kai loses his Kagero and replaced by Narukami clan. The system of Limit Break is introduced in this season, and some new clans are also introduced in this season. Limit Break is the system where you can activate the effects of your units while having 4 Damage. This is a late game system but you can use the damage adder which costs 1 counterblast to add one damage. These cards exist on many clans and is helping them in the Asia Circuit. Limit Break is still used until season 3.

 Next, Season 3. The invasion of the alien clan(which isn't aliens) Link Joker. This is actually the time where I get back to Cardfighting and where people gets reversed. Reversed people gets superpower on Cardfighting, new units with the ability of locking your opponents cards. Bushiroad haven't feel enough disadvantage with the appearance of Link Joker, that they introduces the unit of Star-vader, Omega(Ω) Glendios : Omega Locking and Insta-Win on Fifth damage. Locking is a severe disadvantage to all clans, because it is a skill where you can't do "anything" with it unless it gets unlocked. Or, you can just have a reversed unit, and lock your own rear guards to activate super powerful skills. Overall, this season is fun to watch but the support for Link Joker is hurting.

Season 4, the season where the plot is only on story-telling. The point of this season is the disappearance of Aichi from the team. The rescue operation by Kai, Kamui, Misaki, Naoki and Miwa to find the lost Aichi. The Legion Mate is the system introduced in this season. Legion Mate doesn't have the skill of Limit Break, Because it's limits has been broken even when you only have 2 damage. With the vanguard with power of 20k each turn , and effects of gaining extra criticals, the pace of the game has been increased. The appearance of Quintet Walls also affects the flow of the game that can help them to Legion on early stages. The cards with the skills of Dis1Draw1 is also the key card in this system. The season is not really fun, because the fights doesn't shows you from g0 to g3s, but they make it faster that they only show you the fight when they legion. In that instant, the game was finished. The only thing that is fun in this system is the cards. Yes, the artworks were great and new archetypes were introduced.

In season 5, it is the Generation of Stride. Stride is the system where you make grade 4 cards usable, while discarding a grade with the addition of 3. The system is really powerful, but the anime's plot is worst than season 4. The story revolves around Chrono Shindou is good, but the inability of them to provide full fights makes the movie not fun to watch.

In conclusion, to make the best cardfight anime ever, they must combine the ability of full fights from season 1, and the system of stride from season 5. Overall, season 5 has a lot more potential with the new grade 4s and the system of Mission of some sort. Currently, my ratings for each Season was:
Season 1 : 4/5 points
Season 2 : 4/5 points
Season 3 : 3.5/5 points
Season 4 : 2.5/5 points
Season 5 : 3/5 points. (For now.)
